Pop Idol (PC) - PC Games

Match the combination of buttons displayed on screen and your contestant sings a sweet harmony, dancing to the rhythm of the song. Get it wrong and their performance fades and goes out of tune as the judges, and later the audience, grow unsettled. Get it perfect and make the song your own with ad-libs to really impress. The tracklist has 40 international hits to master--including "Oops I Did It Again", "Genie in a Bottle" and, of course, "Evergreen"--so prepare to get full feedback from the judges whatever your performance is.

If your contestant sings the song perfectly you'll receive a few words of praise from Simon Cowell and the other judges and win a place in the next round. However, if your contestant squeals and howls out of tune then prepare for heartache as Cowell delivers one of his famous put-downs before you get booted off the show.
